Tigard's Marty Wine starts city manager job

TIGARD -- Tigard's new leading lady Marty Wine started her $140,000-a-year job as the city manager on Thursday.

The 42-year-old Seattle-area native was picked unanimously by the City Council in October to replace Craig Prosser, who retired in July.

Wine started her first day on the job with some computer training but will be thrust into the thick of city business next week, interim City Manager Liz Newton said.

An open house on Monday will provide Wine an opportunity to meet with the various committees, advisory groups and city entities that she will be working with. The city council's five-hour goal-setting meeting is on Tuesday.

She will also take part in the city's annual holiday celebration on Friday at 7 p.m. at the downtown Liberty Park, at 99W and Main St.

Newton said she will also continue to attend city council meetings and other business as she transitions back to her position as assistant city manager.
